Meaning and relevance of the metapoetry of the generation of ’68

Abstract

Literary criticism has pointed to metapoetic practice as a central feature of the Generation of ’68. It has sometimes been seen as an endogamic and culturalist activity. This work tries dismantle this aesthetic prejudice by trying to demostrate the existencial load that the metapoetic discourse of this generation entails when it focuses on issues that affect language, literary fiction, the craft of writing and the poetic activity itself in our time. The philosophical keys that support this attitude are shown and the most outstanding texts and authors are mentioned.
